چکیده:
Addressing the root-causes of conflict amongst people, peace practitioners attempted to present their peacebuilding models to build peace in a context of fighting individuals, groups and societies. Islamic faith-based peacebuilding derived from the main sources of Islamic thought - the Quran and Sunnah- is the model by which Muslim peacebuilders tried to solve the problems of the Muslim world.
The outstanding icon of Islamic peacebuilding is Prophet Muhammad (S) as he is introduced to be a perfect role model for all humanity in any time. Therefore, we have a glance at the Prophet’s (S) tradition in order to illuminate how he behaved in a multi-cultural and multi-religious environment of Medina to build an integrated community. Dialogue was a tactic used by Prophet (S) in dealing with people by reciting the glorious Quran and issuing the Charter of Medina to unify the diverse society of Medina under a new culture of Muslim brotherhood and Ummah.

Prophet Muhammad (S) being a perfect role model for all humanity was taken as a symbol of Islamic faith-based peacebuilding in this paper to illuminate the path toward sustainable peace and justice.
According to the Merriam Webster (Macionis & Gerber, 2011) culture would be defined as: A: the integrated pattern of human knowledge, belief, and behavior that depends upon the capacity for learning and transmitting knowledge to succeeding generations; B: the customary beliefs, social forms, and material traits of a racial, religious, or social group; also: the characteristic features of everyday existence (such as diversions or a way of life) shared by people in a place or time; C: the set of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices that characterizes an institution or organization.
Prophet Muhammad (S), the perfect Islamic role model, the faith-based peacebuilder has started his mission from Mecca by internalizing inner peace through the piety, Taqwa, within the soul of the faithful individuals and continued his peacebuilding in Medina to build a faithful community by implementing Islamic Sharia system.
